RUMOUR CONFIRMED

Two high-profile Hawthorn players have left children disappointed after failing to show at a footy clinic held the morning after the club’s best and fairest dinner.

The Junior Footy Stars clinic – which isn’t officially associated with the Hawks – was scheduled to take place on Sunday morning in Ivanhoe with Jack Ginnivan and Nick Watson the headline guests.
